Some cemetery organizations want a full replacement for their current accounting system. Others prefer to keep their general ledger, payroll platform, or accounts payable system in place and use CemSites specifically for the cemetery-specific financial functions that their existing tools cannot handle, such as trust fund management, pre-need tracking, and lot sale revenue recognition. CemSites supports both approaches through data export and synchronization capabilities that allow transaction data to move between systems without manual re-entry.
The right approach depends on the organization’s scale, its staffing model, the accounting technology it currently runs, and how much of its financial workflow it wants to consolidate into a single platform. CemSites can advise during the evaluation process on how other cemetery organizations of similar scale and complexity have structured the integration, so the administrator can make the decision with a clear picture of what each option involves operationally.
